[Osmf-talk] Propose your session for State of the Map 2018!

[Marco Minghini]

Dear all,

in addition (and in parallel) to the standard sessions, this year State of
the Map will run an Academic Track session to showcase the great importance
OpenStreetMap has gained within the scientific and academic communities.
The Academic Track aims to bring together and foster interactions between
OpenStreetMap contributors and scientific researchers from all over the
world. Consequently this will demonstrate both the potential and maturity
of scientific investigations based on OpenStreetMap to the whole community
and stimulate a beneficial discussion among the attendees. Contributions
are expected to address any scientific aspect related to OpenStreetMap, in
particular, but not limited, to the following:


   - quality of OpenStreetMap data
   - analysis of contribution patterns in OpenStreetMap
   - exploitation of OpenStreetMap data to generate new scientifically
   valuable datasets
   - integration of OpenStreetMap data with other datasets to generate new
   scientifically valuable datasets
   - scientific applications of OpenStreetMap
   - new approaches to facilitate or improve data collection in
   OpenStreetMap (e.g. through gamification or Citizen Science approaches)
   - literature reviews on specific aspects of OpenStreetMap
   - creating better connections and collaborations between the scientific
   community and the OpenStreetMap community
   - open research problems in OpenStreetMap and challenges for the
   scientific community

Authors are invited to submit abstracts using this form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSej1MWq6IWdqb0R0LnVutDfR3prJ8FjJeaPeQ1dd1ueaw8GPA/viewform>.
Deadline for submission is *March 4, 2018*.

The maximum length of the abstract is *2500 characters*. Abstracts must be
scientifically rigorous and structured as follows: introduction/background,
where the problem addressed is introduced; main aim or purpose of the
study; brief description of the methodology and findings achieved; final
discussion highlighting the scientific contribution of the study and its
practical benefits/implications. Abstracts describing the use, analysis and
processing of OpenStreetMap data for new and unconventional
applications/disciplines are particularly encouraged.

Abstracts will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee. Authors of
selected abstracts will be invited to give an oral presentation during the
Academic Track sessions at the conference. In addition, authors of selected
abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper for the Special Issue Open
Source Geospatial Software
<https://opengeospatialdata.springeropen.com/osgs> of the journal Open
Geospatial Data, Software and Standards
<https://opengeospatialdata.springeropen.com/>.
